This was the most pleasant interview/hiring process I’ve ever experienced, without question. Everyone I communicated with was direct yet self-effacing, and met me with genuine appreciation. Initial application submitted through Glassdoor in late-October of 2017. Received a call from HR in November, inquiring about my general interest in the position and desired salary range. During the call, we scheduled my first phone interview with someone at the local Portland office, following the Thanksgiving holiday. The resulting call went smoothly. I was informed that the interview process could continue into the new year, due to end-of-year projects and the holidays. I was fine with this, and was impressed with the transparency. In mid-January, HR contacted me for in-person interviews at the local office: a one-on-one, followed by a panel of three. I had an excellent time. In the days that followed, HR contacted me for a phone interview with someone at a regional office. I really enjoyed this call -- as if I was speaking with a friend, rather than being interviewed. The next day, HR contacted me to speak with someone at an east-coast office. I enjoyed this call as well. The next day, HR contacted me for an in-person interview with the person at the regional office, who would be in town the following week. This was a great meeting, and I felt completely welcomed. About a week or so later, HR called to inform me that ICF would be extending an offer letter.
